Cat Vaccinations

Cat vaccinations are critical to the well-being of your cat and to help protect them from potentially
deadly infectious diseases. We recommend:

Giving core cat vaccinations which include panleukopenia, rhinotracheitis, calicivirus and rabies.
These core vaccines are recommended for all cats and kittens. A feline leukemia cat vaccination may
also be recommended.

Starting a kitten vaccination schedule between 6 and 9 weeks of age to begin proper lifelong
protection.

Giving two physical examinations with kitten vaccinations every 3 weeks thereafter. This time
interval allows for maximum immune response and therefore, the best protection.

There are several non-core cat vaccinations available for protection against diseases such as FeLV, FIV,
FIP, chlamydiosis, and bordetellosis in cats. These cat vaccinations are recommended only in special
circumstances, dependent on the exposure risk of an individual cat to the particular infectious disease.

Although reactions and side effects of cat vaccinations are possible, they are rare. The very small
risk of a vaccine reaction is greatly outweighed by the benefit of protection against serious disease.

Bundles program which covers kitten vaccinations and other important healthcare items for your kitten.
